All You Need To Know About The UEFA Nations League !

In a couple days, the new International competition for European National teams will kick off known as the UEFA Nations League.
To the avid football watching fan, the UEFA Nations League is
super confusing since there’s already the well known UEFA European
Championships also known as the Euros. So what is the UEFA Nations
League about? Here’s what you need to know
The Nations League is a brand new international tournament for
European teams and the aim is to eliminate meaningless friendlies during
International breaks. The teams will battle to then feature in a final
four in 2019 to decide who will be crowned champion.

So How Will It Work?
55 European teams would be split into four leagues (A, B, C and
D) based on their UEFA ranking. Within those four leagues, the teams
will be split again into groups, which will be made up of either three
to four teams.
In each of the four leagues, four teams will be promoted at the
end of the cycle, while four teams will be relegated. They will then
play at their new level in the next competition, which starts in 2020.
The winners of the four groups in League A will qualify for the Final Four competition.

The tournament kicks off on Thursday, September 6 with Germany taking on World Champions, France.

What is The Final Four?
This will take place in June 2019 and would involve the group
winners from League A. There will be a one-game semi-final stage
followed by the final with the winner of that named the Nations League
champion.
The Final Four tournament will occur in odd years, meaning that
when there isn’t a World Cup or European Championship tournament, there
will be a Nations League winner.

And The Benefits?
According to UEFA, “The UEFA Nations League creates more
meaningful and competitive matches for teams and a dedicated calendar
and structure for national team football”. The association
believes the Nations League addresses concerns national associations
raised about friendlies no longer providing adequate competition.
Weaker teams will also face teams ranked around their level so
there will be fewer lopsided scorelines and more meaningful games for
fans.
